DiscoverPhoto Drone Awards 2023

Why Photo Drone Awards? The evolution and progress of drones in recent years has been impressive. Besides their many qualities, the skills that photographers all over the world have shown in their use are turning these small quadcopters in one of the best friends of the photographer.

Without a doubt, drone photography is a new trend on the rise. Although more and more platforms are taking into account this new trend, there are still not many photography awards that properly value this art. For this reason, this drone photo contest was born. To serve as a showcase and springboard for photographers around the world. Professionals and amateurs who are changing the way things look with their aerial drone photography.

So we expect to find amazing drone photos. Above all, that’s what we are looking for in this international photo contest. We want to feel every natural landscape, to live the streets, to find fine art photography with an endless creativity…
